@JCLINE84 , I have another question for ya. Have you ever tried connecting your paracord, for pulling your girth hitch down, before you even raise your climbing rope to the branch or branch/trunk? Today I tried throwing my throw line over a branch that was 35-40 feet up. My hunting height would be more like 20-25 feet. I was thinking, if the branch your girth hitch goes to is way higher than your hunting height, you would have to climb up after your hunt to take it down...or if you decided you didn't like the spot for whatever reason, you'd still have to climb all the way to the top to clip on your paracord for rope retrieval. I was thinking about giving it a try to raise my paracord and carabiner with the girth hitch when I secure my rope. I hope that makes sense. Have you ever tried this or do you have any other method?
I also like the idea of tying off a base anchor instead of girth hitching, but the particular tree I was working with today wouldn't allow it because I only have 50' of rope.
UPDATE: I just tried sending my paracord up with my girth hitch and it worked great!
